Tortun Transport is a joke.

    It gives Iniative on replort - ability says nothing about it.

    So its 45 Nora for 5 Def 62 HP - Already insane HP to nora ratio.
    Can give any unit Initiative.
    Can reset Cooldowns on abilities
    Can remove affects like Doom.

    This unit either needs a serious recosting, or the ability needs to be looked at. I have no idea why this has never been used much in the past.

    My suggestion is remove Initiative from it.

    (yes i lost to it, would not have known about it if i hadn't played against it)

    It also resets pillage. When I ran FF KF tortuns against DMB for funsies in a casual game he surrendered and put me on ignore ...

    Maybe I could get a blue name by running it in ranked, but it would feel so dirty that I won't :p Transport really needs a good look.

    Does it give Initiative or does it replace the champion with the AP it had before being transported?

    Just faced it, it was granting Initiative 1 on redeploy


    Chris0024 literally deployed a tort mortar. Loaded it, unloaded it and had 5ap to do with as he pleased.

    Ridiculous. This must be fixed.




    Oh, maybe the near-free redeploys also need a look. Sounds a bit broken.

    Someone asked me yesterday which is more powerful, moga or torts, and at the time I figured both themes were equally powerful, but after playing against Xuvali and some other moga player I can safely say Torts are more powerful (broken) that moga. I am no where near xuvali's skill level, and honestly had you kep playing you would have won, and managed to win. They are both silly and broken right now but transport is lulz.

    Eh, don't know if a head-to-head is the way to judge the power of those two groups. I would say Tortuns probably have better matchups on the whole (they don't fold like oragami paper to FW, for one), but that's already going to be a hard moga matchup because of the large flat damage reduction torts get from their large racial defense.

    Head to head yes torts will win the majority of the games on tariff alone. There are other factors as well but that ability with moagz low hp and propensity to blowing themselves up will tip the game in the favor most of the time. Also, ummm transport. Was this mentioned before? o_O

    ... Yeah, when I told you that expecting me to magically know that you wanted me to play a crap deck was a bit childish it was just too much for you to take, I guess. Stop being such a loser.

    I wonder if you use it on a phoenix if it will come back with rebirth.

    You can't, it only works on Tortuns. What you need to do is somehow bestow a tortun with those abilities and then try it. Thought about divine favor.

    ah, I didn't know about the tortuns only clause.
    Bestow would be removed since it's re-deploying the unit essentially.

    Oh my god, tortuns are finally decent and people are complaining already?!? complain about the insane coalition runes ffs. I barely even play atm and I am still crushing people with them.

    LONG LIVE TORTUNS!(buff leoss)

    ... Long live tortuns, but transport is bloody insane. Simply absurd. I hope they don't overnerf it, but some change has to be made, the current situation is ridiculous.

    no, i need it for my tortun bg. :(

    first xuvali gets decondor to remove le sceian from his trader now he is trying to wreck tortuns. Xuvali is ruining my life.

    I'd be playing tortuns right now if I didn't have to spend the next 5 hours doing this school work. -____-
